Lavatory vessel liquid dispenser
Abstract
The present invention may be used for dispensing a liquid soap adjacent a faucet assembly having a vertical opening. A lift rod having a conduit therein may be slidably inserted in the vertical opening. A dispensing rod having a conduit may be attached at an upper end of the lift rod. A pump may be attached at a lower end of the lift rod for fluid communication with an outlet end of the pump. A reservoir tube may be attached to an inlet end of the pump and may be disposed at a second end in a liquid reservoir. The pump may have a flange and a lower portion. The lower portion may be slidably inserted in a support element to allow the flange to abut a top edge of the support element for operation of the plunger when a force may be applied to the lift rod.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1. An apparatus for dispensing a liquid adjacent to a spigot of a faucet assembly having a vertical opening therein comprising:
a lift rod having a conduit therein slidably insertable in said vertical opening;
a dispensing rod having a conduit therein attached at an upper end of said lift rod;
a pump attached at a lower end of said lift rod for fluid communication of said lower end with an outlet end of said pump wherein said lower end attached to a plunger of said pump;
a reservoir tube attached at a first end to an inlet end of said pump and disposed at a second end in a liquid reservoir;
said pump having a flange and a lower portion of said pump slidably inserted in a support element disposed for said flange to abut a top edge of said support element for operation of said plunger when a force is applied to said lift rod;
a connection rod is attached to said lift rod by a fastener;
an adapter is slidably disposed on said connection rod and has a lever rod at a distal end inserted in said adapter;
a spring is disposed on said connection rod adjacent said adapter and retained by a first spring clip attached above said spring on said connection rod;
said adapter is retained by a second spring clip attached below said adapter on said connection rod; and
said adapter is retained by a third spring clip attached on said lever rod.
2. The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein a handle is disposed and attached at said upper end and said dispensing rod disposed and attached to said handle wherein said handle having a fluid conduit in communication at a first end with said upper end and at a second end with said dispensing rod.
3. The apparatus as in claim 2 wherein said first end is soldered to said upper end of said lift rod and said second end is soldered to said dispensing rod.
4. The apparatus as in claim 2 wherein said dispensing rod is attached to said handle for generally horizontal orientation.
5. The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said lower end of said lift rod is attached to said pump by a pump adapter comprising:
a first adapter end for insertion of said lower end and attachment of said lower end; and
a second adapter end for insertion in said outlet end of said pump.
6. The apparatus as in claim 5 wherein said second adapter end has a fluid bypass structure.
7. The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said lower end has a fluid bypass structure.
8. The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said support element comprising:
a bracket that has two generally parallel rods attachable to a support structure under said faucet assembly; and
a pump adjustment device with a pump channel in which said lower portion of said pump is inserted is disposed in said bracket.
9. The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein said bracket has a drain clamp at a first end and a vertical structure attachment at a second end.
10. The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein said pump adjustment device is a threaded nut disposed between said two generally parallel rods and a tubular insert threadably inserted in said threaded nut.
11. An apparatus for dispensing a liquid adjacent to a spigot of a faucet assembly having a vertical opening therein comprising;
a lift rod having a conduit therein slidably insertable in said vertical opening;
a dispensing rod having a conduit therein attached at an upper end of said lift rod;
a pump at an outlet end in fluid communication with a lower end of said lift rod and said pump at an inlet end in fluid communication with a reservoir; and
said lift rod attached to a lever rod for operation of a drain plug in a drain assembly.
12. The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein said bracket has a drain clamp at a first end.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
